Is this a cold cream (like ponds to remove makeup with a tissue) or a proper lotion (to leave on)? Anyone using it for removing makeup? Recommended?

I use it for very dry skin from road biking and sailing. There is another preparation for makeup removal--I know I have been sent it by mistake. This is a very rich lotion for deep skin penetration. I am a 60 yo male who has very dry skin. Dr RPW

Not a cold cream. My daughter used this while taking a medication that made her skin extremely dry. The Avene brand was recommended by her dermatologist.

I use it as a body cream and find that it's is very very hydrating. Come to think of it, I've also taken the rings from mascara off by dabbing a little on a tissue as well! All Avene products are really top quality...

Rachel,This cold cream is not to remove make up. It's a lotion to leave on and hydrate the skin. To remove make up there are some very good options.

It's like most face creams. It comes out of a pump dispenser, feels like a lotion consistency. I love it!

I use it as a foundation but apply extra to circles under my eyes. There's a smaller Maybelline tube that "erases" those circles as well.

I love this shade and the cream. It disappears in your skin and you don't have any residue of makeup left on your face. I do not have to reapply it on a daily basis. It seems to absorb almost instantly and you can use a light powder rouge right away. I have thrown all my old makeup bottles away and now only use this product. S Fitzgerald

I honestly don't know , but I didn't have a bad reaction to this product which most expensive makeup does in my experience. it also doesn't require makeup remover, at the end of the night I wipe it off with a baby wipe

I use it only in the AM because it's very rich and helps my face feel hydrated all day. I usually put makeup over it (a tinted SPF moisturizer) but I do not use foundation. This is my go-to winter face cream. I love it.

I used it for lip balm, but I believe it is often used in Luton as well. My mom is a massage therapist and told me you have to be careful with cocoa butter because it can stain clothing, so you might want to research that more before using it in a lotion.

Its up to you really. It says to leave it on for 5-30 min. You actually don't have to wash it off if you don't want to. To me thats kinda waisting it. I use it as my nightly moisturizer. I get better results that way. Its a better version of the vital c lotion. So its perfectly fine to use it that way. U can also mix it with other image moisturizers and leave on

Miss Leah, I replied but may have accidentally deleted. I use "night" creams during the day during these cold, dry days. I have not been disappointed.

I leave it on for 3 minutes closely timed. I find if I exfoliate first, works even better. I do this before bedtime and use a glob of Alavera Sun burn gel, triple antibiotic ointment and cerave moisturizing lotion mixture applied after. Makes a great after care lotion. Keeps face from drying out and cools down skin. I do a chemical treatment once every five days. I have just started using the 30% Salicylic acid gel peel for 3 minutes at a time. I've used the 20% for about a year first. You will have to experiment with the time. If you start to frost heavily, I would neutralise. You can use baking soda and water to neutralise. Works well. I find if I frost, that is usually where I peel in the next few days.

Yes, I've used it as a hydrating night cream. I use it during the day as well when I am not going to wear makeup.

This looks and feels like water when applied onto the face. You would need to apply this onto a cotton ball/pad in order to remove your makeup.

No, it is a thin white fluid. It leaves my face feeling slightly moisturized and works great under makeup.

I would use it as makeup remover only. It is so liquidy it won't wirk as face wash. Buy it removes makeup really well. Great product!

It's basically a soap-like cleanser, so if your eye make-up is water-based it works pretty well. Waterproof mascara, though, is a bit more challenging. In that case, I'd recommend that you use some kind of oil-based remover.

I have no experience with Korean BB creams. I've never found a satisfactory answer for what a "beauty balm" is, anyway. My assumption is that it would be makeup that has a therapeutic component, but the ingredients and directions for use on the Ponds product lead me to believe it is a light foundation with sunscreen. My suggestion would be to research the ingredients to find a product that has the qualities you desire.

I'm sorry to say that I have finished my bottle of the Avene cold cream body lotion so I can not verify the ingredients label. I have very dry/sensitive skin and if it had alcohol it would be very drying and my skin always feels very moisturized after using the lotion. I have enjoyed and benefited from all the Avene products I have used!
